COMMENTS: What do you say to a team that just dropped a series to The Worst Team in Baseball? (Or, The Team Formerly Known as the Worst Team in Baseball—thanks, RoyalsMariners, for screwing the gag up.) What do you say to a team for whom overcoming a 2-0 deficit feels like scaling Kilimanjaro? What do you say to a team so frustrated they act like punks?

Karina, I think they're just rumors that bloggers are thinking about. The Sox have been scoring runs just fine without Papi. I think we can hold on without him. While Bonds is obviously a great hitter, I don't think I could ever cheer for him. And I'm sure most fans agree.

Yeah, the Rays went a bit overboard. Of course, Crisp was an idiot for starting it. He was wrong to get mad over events in yesterday's game, and he was even more wrong today. It's his team's job to defend him, so when he charges the mound, he endangers his team and risks suspensions for several of them.

Dammit, another tough tough loss. Kemp choked even when Loney's leadoff double (with which he obviously didn't score) was a gift, and Pierre's working of a walk from an 0-2 count was impossible. And with that, Kemp chokes with the bases loaded.

Stop fighting other people, Matt, and hit the goddamn ball in the clutch.
